Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players. If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (Fluxy) will remove players at its discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.
Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the match day 23's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make-up of your squad.
Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have an academy squad of 23 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1994.
Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
Transfers wrote:
- Domestic (other AP Teams)
Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.- Domestic (Championship and below)
Each team may during the season purchase no more than 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will receive two additional bids to be used exclusively on academy age players. These players must be bid for on the National League Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by the RFU on its own merits before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.- Foreign
To make a foreign transfer (i.e. from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made by sending a PM to the RFU (Fluxy) and it will be considered by the RFU against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.
There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
Round Bidding
Open Bidding
Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation
Compensation will be paid as follows
£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other
All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the National League Bidding page.
Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players. Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.
Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be European Rugby Champions Cup, European Rugby Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches. These games will take place once a week. A match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Failure to meet these deadlines is punishable by the addition of three match points to the oppositions final score, unless both sides fail to do so. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Sunday. Managers will pm the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved). An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.
Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result. To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box.
Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.
In addition, each team must have the following:-
For domestic competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.
For European competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 6 of those must be in your starting XV.
At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.
All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).
Failure to comply with these rules will result in a 1 league point deduction.
If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.
Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.
Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.
Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.
Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point.
Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.
£2m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
Bonuses will be awarded on a scaled basis i.e. £2m for 5 games, £1.6m for 4 games and so on
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc upto a maximum of £5m per fine.

Completely agree with you Nick, they've become very stale and King was used as the fall guy there. They've been very poor with transfers to, Picamoles aside.

Saints are awful in attack, totally clueless. If the rolling maul fails to work, they have no other solution to break down teams. Hardly surprising King was ousted, but there's obviously deeper issues.
Any dealing today?

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Good performance after the red, never really looked like losing. Some good performances from Billy, Ford, May, Lawes and Robshaw.
Daly a very silly lad and could take him a while to get back around the squad. Billy injury a worry, lets hope Hughes is fit if so.

Morgan must have played himself into the starting no8 shirt for England next week, not sure Harrison nor Hughes are close to being ready to start. He was excellent today.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
It's going to be a big call on Daly over the next few games. He's looked exciting but was shown up badly in defence against Argentina and you really can't be that brainless at Int level. Will EJ give him another shot? He can be quite brutal.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Who would give another shot too, would be my thought. He does rate Daly, and believes he has potential to be as good as Robinson, but like I said, if he doesn't pick Roko, who goes in his place?

Re: Season 9 Homepage
May is the obvious nailed on wing and JJ the 13. Farrell seems to have to start at 12 with Ford's iffy kicking and Youngs has stepped up at 9.
EJ did seem to rate Nowell.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
I say give Daly another shot. Would like to see sinckler have a start to see how he goes as
He has impressed and we desperately need depth in tight head.
Marler made a huge impact to the scrum when he came on.'great to have 2 top looseheads. Need to work out which to start. Mako and his distribution and tackling offers
A lot

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Don't think there will be an issue with Daly going forward, stupid mistake, but these incidents are happening more and more in rugby. Jones rates him, he's not a winger though and has the potential to be an excellent international player.
Mat, yep would like to see Sinckler start, Cole's performances have been a little underwhelming - starts slow and then gets into the game, but seems to have lost some size to get a little more mobile.
Also would like to see George start, Hartley actually had his best game of the AI's against Argentina, but he's not in the best form, espc compared to George.
Surprised Morgan omitted from the squad, going to be hard to replace BV, Clifford was great for Quins yesterday and would prefer Beaumont than other options as like to see Hughes used from the bench.

Look at the scrum when Marler & George came on, we walked them backwards. I rate Mako but hes not a scrummager and Hartley is just finding form.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Hartley has to start he is captain and adds leadership.
Our subs add real impact and it's different scrummaging at that time.
Marler is a huge scrummager but
Does not
Do what mako does. Nice dilemma

Very good options. Mako and Sinckler would be great impact after grinding down the Aus scrum.

He was someone that I had an eye on for the spring transfer window. Very much reminds of early days Parra.

Good win for Bath, Sarries not quite with it. Sarries scrum got a bit of a hammering and Burger had the worst game I've ever seen from him.

Defence has been awful, how are we still in this? Big half time for Jones. Id get George and Marler on, look to get the set piece back. Ford getting back into the game after a poor start.
Hughes having an impressive first start.

Re: Season 9 Homepage
Robshaw is playing brilliantly again, player of the series for me. Really wish Morgan was playing though, Hughes just doesnt impose himself but Harrison from the bench won't help either.
To have the scoreline as it is, isn't that bad considering how badly we started. Hopefully a bit more from the bench from us could be a big factor.

Defence has been poor - our tackling has been for the majority of this series in terms of missed tackles but we've done well to stop them scoring.
We've got to sort out our breakdown, Pocock and Hooper slow down and stop everything.

Hughes is playing well, growing into game. Hes not Billy but its his first game at 8 what do you want? Making yards and bringing others into game.
We should be further behind tbh. Need a big improvement in the 2nd.
